Review

Willems and Codename: Kids Next Door creator Warburton allow readers to really get in touch with Pigeon, Duckling, and other beloved characters in a banter-filled activity book with a hilariously digressive narrative. On each perforated page, the Bus Driver provides instructions for each activity (which include drawing prompts, crafts, games, and more), while Pigeon-no surprise-gently pesters readers ("Now we're done with this activity book, right?"). When an alarmed Pigeon announces, "We're late for a puppet show!?" readers are instructed to craft a paper airplane, which then necessitates building an airport, naturally. Readers also have a hand in creating an elaborate puppet show (that Pigeon sleeps through), by filling in blanks for an exchange featuring a cranky new character, Mad Cow. The humor snowballs, with kids adding their own jokes to the mix, and the laughs will, too. Ages 3 up. Agent: Marcia Wernick, Wernick & Pratt. (Oct.) PW"

This book is HUGE and innovative!

Reviewed in the United States on July 30, 2018

Verified Purchase

This is a big, heavy book with nice quality paper. It isn't that gritty brown paper you get in a cheap coloring book. The pages mostly have a white background with greyscale and light blue graphics. My daughters, 5 and 7, love their pigeon books, so I got them each one of these. It definitely requires some reading and thought, though, so if your kid is not a reader yet, plan to spend some time working on it together. There are lots of cutting, designing, and creative writing activities to keep an artistic kid interested, plus some games that involve movement. Plan to have scissors, tape, and crayons or colored pencils handy. Marker will likely bleed through. The pages are perforated for easy tear-out by a parent (good thing since one kid accidentally drew in the other kid's book, so I swapped the pages out to avoid meltdown).

FUN Activity Book on Steroids! Really Awesome!

Reviewed in the United States on June 23, 2019

Love this book!! All the reviews stating how much kids love this book sold me on it and it has been true for us too! My 4 1/2 year old son has spent hours in self directed play with this book! I think it might be so appealing because it’s just so silly and engaging! Not an STEAM focused book but more about letting your silly creative side loose! Especially great for kids that want an excuse to get crafty with tools like scissors, glue, tape, and markers/crayons. Our little guy doesn’t follow it in any particular order and he makes up all sorts of new things to do as well - we had to give him a zip-lock bag to keep all the extra little characters he started cutting out for fun...both he and our 1 1/2 year old daughter love to play pretend with them. It has created a lot of family interaction as well since we all love the Pigeon character and his cohorts so conversations are sparked as my son shares with us what excites him at any given moment. The book is enormous! Well worth the money for all the time your kids will spend playing with it!

Skip the camps and get this book!

Reviewed in the United States on August 7, 2018

Our 5 year old is a huge fan of the Elephant and Piggie series (as are we). We decided to try this book as a summer distraction so she would have a bit of focus for maybe an hour a day. We sure got that wrong! We've barely seen her since we gave it to her!! She is obsessed! She complains at bedtime, as she's literally falling asleep, that she needs to do just one more activity. She pops up in the morning and rushes to her table to get started at first light. We get invited to the big events, such as the "Famous Author Book Signing" where she reads the book she wrote and illustrated and then signs her autograph for us. The book is a story, so she's practicing her reading both with the story and by reading the instructions (very accessible). She practices her writing, drawing, cutting, taping, creativity, attention span, etc. The activities build nicely, such as when she made a paper airplane and then, of course, had to make an airport to go with it! She's half way through in 5 days, so I'm starting to panic about what to do in 5 more... hurry Mo Willems!! Write us another activity book, PLEASE!!

Amazing activity book that fosters creativity, NOT great for traveling!

Reviewed in the United States on October 25, 2017

I LOVE this activity book for my daughter. More than just coloring, kids make tons of things like their own books and posters. The activities leave a lot of room for creativity and imagination, not just following directions. At five, my daughter needs help reading the directions and with some of the cutting, etc. but I find if appropriate for this age level if you are willing to help. If you’d prefer to have your child work on it on their own (so you can have time for laundry uninterrupted, perhaps - haha), I’d suggest a little older, maybe ages 6-10. Your kids will love this if they love Mo Willem’s pigeon books but will probably still love it even if they’ve never read them. Definitely not the book for a road trip or airplane though since you need to pull our pages, tape them together, have scissors and large spaces, etc.

Nice but not awesome

Reviewed in the United States on January 31, 2020

Verified Purchase

Pros:
- The quality of this book is very high - thick pages, large size - definitely a step up from regular activity books.
- My kids love the Pigeon books and having that theme through this book adds a nice touch.

Cons:
- Way too many "coloring" pages - my kids are not that into just plain coloring and I was expecting each page to have some sort of activity or "doing" task like other preschool books.
- The activities that are there really require an adult to help (my kids are 4.5 years old). It is not the kind of preschool activity book that you just tell the kids to trace some letters or connect the dots and then come back 5 min later to praise them and get started on the next page. Rather, it requires the adult to do things like get extra supplies, help cut things, tape things together, etc. My kids like those activities but they are adult-intensive.
So, the pages are either just simple "boring" coloring or more complex adult-help-needed activities. Not much in between.

In the end, I've decided to put these books away for another 6 months to see if they are a better fit for when when my kids turn 5. Maybe they'll like coloring more then, and maybe they'll be able to do more of the activities with less help from me.

Super thick with numerous activities. Huge help when kids are bored and promotes family interaction. Not just a coloring book or connect the dot activities. We weren't fans perse of the Pigeon series of books but this one is awesome.

It keeps my son off the iPad!

Reviewed in the United States on November 18, 2019

Verified Purchase

My six-year-old son LOVES this activity book. I am always amazed that he takes the initiative to work on it and has completed several projects on his own (with some requiring some help from me or from my husband). He does not usually like to do "crafty things" and it is difficult for me to get him to color and cut. However, since he LOVES the pigeon, he really enjoys doing these projects. One of the activities is a book signing. He created a story about a boy who was lost in Hezekiah's Tunnel in Jerusalem, but his friend the pigeon helped him find the way out. Then, he cut the tickets to the "book signing" and invited his grandparents and us to the reading of the story and gave all of us an autograph! He followed all the prompts on how to give a successful book signing. He greeted us, thanked us for coming, read his story, gave us autographs, and shook our hands as he thanked us for coming. I highly recommend this book for any pigeon fans!

Don't Let the Pigeon Finish This Activity Book!

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on November 25, 2015

Verified Purchase

I love Mo Willems children’s books and one of his all time most popular characters has to be the Pigeon in the, “Don’t let the pigeon….. drive the bus!” series of book. This is a fantastic activity book featuring Pigeon and it has over 270 pages of great fun things to colour and do. You can easily tear out the perforated pages, so you can stick them up on the wall, or store them in the inside cover of the book.

This book is introduced by the Bus Driver and the Duckling (another character in the stories) is also included. Of course, that naughty Pigeon wants to finish the activity book, so you have to stop him and the Bus Driver is at the bottom of the page to tell you what you need for each activity. This is SO interactive and fun – for example, there are bus doors, which need to be coloured in before you can open them and, when you do so, a mad cow chases the poor Pigeon across the pages! There are pictures to colour, mazes, things to make and do, pictures to draw, picture books to design, rooms to decorate, puppet shows, posters and newspapers to design and on and on and on…

If you children love the Pigeon books, this is a must buy book – designed to entertain, amuse and educate, this is a wonderful resource for all children aged 3+. If they haven’t read the great Pigeon books, then buy those to go with this – it’s a brilliant activity book and the stories are fun too.

firstly, there is a story inside that progresses throughout the book. not just 'colour this' and 'cut out that'. But there are also a heck of a lot of activities for the kids in here too. Another Awesome Willems book - rapidly becoming my boys favourite author.
